- You shouldn't have done that. Crucio
- You're acting on Dumbledore's orders.
- We shall secure the school..

- You have until midnight
- Weak plot point - Ron hissing parseltongue
- IF WE DIE FOR THEM ILL KILL YOU HARRY
- Fiendfyre
- Think of something happy
- We're all still here. We're still fighting. Come on now
- Lily and Snape best friends
- My word Severus that I shall never reveal the best of you?

- I'll distract them all
- Hilarious that his last thought is about Kreacher giving him a sandwich
- Some people hated the epilogue
- I didn't like it either
- It probably evens out and I'd say it's a solid 4.9/5 because it ties everything together
- There were moments of real tension and crazy stuff which is the best the series ever had but by the same token I didn't really like some aspects like Dumbledore's past.
- So harry didn't conquer death in the way the deathly hallows story is told. Or what people perceived. He embraced death. That's what they meant by being master of death. But it was his blood in Voldemort (a "horcrux" for Harry - "For a fleeting instant, Harry thought he saw a gleam of something like triumph in Dumbledore’s eyes." - Goblet of Fire (Chapter 36, "The Parting of the Ways"), Voldemort's soul in Harry being a target and the elder wand being his that prevented him from dying
- Lots of Christian concepts re resurrection
- The series as a whole - probably a 4.85/5 - it's pretty cool that the invisibility cloak being a legendary artifact was foreshadowed as early as book 1 and is what links Harry to the youngest Peverell...whereas in book 6 Marvalo's ring links Voldemort to the second brother. And that Rowling already hinted at horcruxes as early as book 2..
This used to be a site dedicated to Board, Card and Party Game reviews but, in the end, I realised that there are plenty of other things to talk about =)

- "You know about the plan?"
- Bellatrix's mouth fell open.

- His godfather's dead? Vernon said loudly
- Bellatrix Lestrange inherit the house??!
- Harry suspects Dumbledore was enjoying himself
- Using Kreacher as a test of ownership

- I do not think you need worry about being attacked tonight...You are with me.
- Voldemort using Occlumency against Harry

- Harry scowled at Ginny being with Dean
- Tom Riddle was greedy, evil and exploitive even as a kid

- Luna turned her protuberant eyes upon him in surprise
- Nobody's ever asked me to a party before as a friend!
- I'm really glad you're taking her, Harry, she's so excited!

- Voldemort a solo operator, wouldn't rely on philosopher's stone
- Morfin's and Marvalo's Shack - Marvalo's ring
- Hufflepuff's cup, Slytherin's locket, the diary
- Nagini - so when he killed the Keeper of his father's house in Goblet of fire he made a horcrux?
- Lucius Malfoy tried to use the horcrux for his own gain (sabotage Weasleys and Dumbledore) and to rid himself of incriminating evidence
- By attempting to kill Harry, Voldemort singled out Harry and gave him the tools for the job - he didn't hear the whole prophecy and did not realise he would be advancing the prophecy by his own v actions of attacking Harry, who he perceived to be a threat
- Difference between being dragged into the arena vs walking into the arena with your head held high

- Why didn't Dumbledore bring more members of the order? Or kids - they wouldn't fit in the boat presumably
- That Dumbledore could cast a fire spell after drinking the potion is crazy
- Rosmerta under the imperius curse
- Amycus Alecto Fenrir

- Hagrid's skin deflecting curses
- Dumbledore had weakened himself for nothing

- Malfoys hand of glory

- Tonks and Lupin
- Hagrid's views valued
- Ginny understood Harry
- Can't believe (again) that Dumbledore died..was it really the only way? Was it the craziest MVP play for Snape's cover?
- This is a book full of emotions - Ginny and Harry finding each other the long way; Hermione and Ron; and Dumbledore's death
- I like it quite a lot but I suppose it feels like there is no closure after the dramatic shock of Snape killing Dumbledore and that puts a sour taste in the mouth
- Maybe ranks after Prisoner of Azkaban
- Maybe a 4.7/5

- How's Harry supposed to not leave the house... and why has he been kept out of the loop
- Calmly talking about Voldemort to the Dursleys
- Petunia finally stops pretending there us no magic
- Remember my last Petunia
- Wotcher, Harry! Kind of like Suzie Blue from keys to the kingdom
- ..a whole bunch of wizards was standing matter-of-factly in the house as though this was a long standing arrangement
- This is a classic us against them book where no one believes the main character and the system and red tape is against Harry..
- I think it's better that Harry gets the facts .. from us rather than a garbled version from others
- Andromeda, Sirius's cousin, had two sisters Bellatrix and Narcissa Black who became Lestrange and Malfoy respectively
- Waging war against the house aided and abetted by Kreacher

- You're less like your father than I thought...Harry didn't want Sirius to gauge a risk
- This book is all about discrediting Dumbledore and Harry
- T for Troll
- Harry, you're the best in the year at DAtDA
- Just listen to me all right? It sounds great when you say it like that, but all that stuff was luck.
- This is exactly why we need you..we need to know what it's really like.. facing Voldemort- Hermione says V for the first time
- Harry subconsciously planned lessons
- What did Vicky say? π
- Hermione who was taking more subjects than either of them had not only finished her homework but was also finding time to knit more elf clothes
- Harry's stomach did a backflip
- Yes well the idea seemed quite popular said Hermione happily
- Hermione's speech to Dumbledore's Army

- Well I suppose you want to ---Only if you do - Cho said eagerly
- You have no subtlety Potter. You do not understand fine distinctions. It is one of the shortcomings that makes you such a lamentable potion maker
- Legilimency used to detect lies - those skilled at Occlumency can shut down feelings and memories that contradict the lie
- When Snape spoke again, it was slowly and deliberately, as though he weighed every word
- Voldemort knows Harry can see his thoughts and the reverse is likely to be true

- What exactly are you so happy about? "Oh Harry don't you see? If she could have done one thing to make absolutely sure that every person in this school will read your interview, it was banning it!"

- "One more lesson like that and I might do a Weasley"
- Hermione we've been through this before..it's already bad enough going through the exam once
- Harry and Neville more relaxed without Snape around during the Potions OWL
- McGonagall and Hagrid attacked during an exam
- Harry caused Sirius's death
- Hi we recognised Harry's voice. What are you yelling about? Ginny and Luna walk in
- Ginny and Luna willing to help

- HERMY! WHERE HAGGER?

- Harry has grown up a lot and had to after his guilt
- "He somehow could not find words to tell them what it meant to him, to see them all ranged there, on his side"
- I didn't like this book as much as the others. Somehow Dumbledore's reasons of keeping Harry in the dark (because Dumbledore loved Harry) and blaming himself don't really add up. Ultimately Harry caused Sirius's death, even if that's a harsh conclusion and even accepting he's suffering from PTSD due to Cedric's death
- I thought the Cho romance was a bit cringeworthy but I suppose that is a reflection of teenage turmoil
- I would've also liked to see Umbridge suffer more
- Say 4.2/5. I did enjoy the fight at the Ministry and Luna Lovegood's crazy character.
